This Baby Doll Was So Lifelike That Police Tried to Rescue It From a Hot Car

A police officer in New Hampshire broke into a car last month to rescue a young child abandoned by his parents — but the child turned out be a lifelike doll, according to local media reports.

Keene police officer Jason Short responded to a call about a child left in a car by smashing the car’s window and performing CPR. He realized it was a doll after he was unable to revive the child. “It felt like a baby,” Short told the WMUR Nine outlet. “It looked like a baby. And—and everything about it was ‘baby.’”
